Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#385 - Chapter 384 Mountain Gate
That day, after leaving Xue Wang Mountain, Zhang Yuanjing and the others quickly contacted Hu Tiancong, but there was no news of Lin Tianxian and Yin Tianfu.
After the five reunited, they first went to the Myriad Dharma Sect for a brief explanation, and then left in the dismal gaze of Sect Leader Gao Peng.
Arriving at Xuan Shui Immortal City, Yu Tianwan spoke with Zhang Yuanjing alone, saying that he should return to Mo Zhu Mountain Village first, and after the sect discussed matters, someone would go to Mo Zhu Mountain Village to find him.
Since the Battle of Erlong Mountain, Zhang Yuanjing had been rushing about and fighting, except for a brief rest of a few months, and was somewhat tired. It was a good time to meditate for a while and sort out the gains from the Xue Wang Divine Tomb.
Time flew by quickly, and a year passed.
Xuan Tian Sect hastily dealt with Jie Tianwei's funeral, and issued a notice to the public, stating that the former Sect Leader Jie Tianwei had accidentally died when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. He would be replaced by Elder Liu Yuanqing, who was at the Golden Core stage. A grand ceremony for the new Sect Leader's ascension would be held at the Xuan Tian Palace on Zhen Dao Peak, Tian Que Mountain, one year later.
Liu Yuanqing sent a message to Mo Zhu Mountain Village through the sound transmission array, inviting Zhang Yuanjing to return to the sect to attend the ascension ceremony, and made it clear that True Person Tong would summon him before the ceremony.
Thus, with two months remaining before the one-year deadline, Zhang Yuanjing returned to Tian Que Mountain with Huo Zhengkai, after nearly seventy years of absence.
He first went to Feihong Peak in the south, which was the southern gateway of Xuan Tian Sect.
The mountain-guarding disciples certainly did not recognize him, but the waist token of Jingdu Mountain had not been invalidated, and Liu Yuanqing had specifically instructed them, so he smoothly passed through the mountain-protecting formation and entered this spiritual mountain and beautiful water, deeply engraved in his heart and always unforgettable.
He took Huo Zhengkai for a stroll through the mountains and rivers, recalling the past, and the sorrow and unspeakable obsession that had been accumulating in his chest dissipated a lot.
On Taiyan Peak, known as the number one outer peak of Tian Que Mountain, he looked out over the inner peaks. The three peaks of Zhenyi, Zhenxing, and Zhendao were not very high and were blocked by other main peaks, but the formation power there was the strongest, the spiritual power was the most abundant, and the earth's energy surged upward, producing a rain-like image of light in the sky, which was the most eye-catching.
Among the thirty-six inner peaks, the most majestic and towering was Xiangtian Peak, which was located slightly to the west, and was also the preferred place for elite disciples to establish cave dwellings. Not far north of Xiangtian Peak was Jingdu Peak.
After Huo Zhengkai advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the waist token issued by the sect was number thirty-one of Shouzhuo Peak.
Shouzhuo Peak was on the south side, right on their route. However, since Huo Zhengkai entered the Foundation Establishment stage, he had been performing sect missions outside and had not had time to open up a cave dwelling in the mountain.
He had no feelings for Shouzhuo Peak, so he was too lazy to go.
So, the two continued north, passed through the second mountain-protecting formation from Silver Moon Peak on the south side of the thirty-six inner peaks, and then turned northwest, directly reaching Jingdu Peak.
Jingdu Peak was probably the most unremarkable mountain among the inner peaks. Most of the cultivators assigned here were of mediocre aptitude, not young, and not high in cultivation. They were all working hard in the early or middle stages of the Foundation Establishment realm.
The cave dwelling where Zhang Yuanjing used to live was still preserved there, but without the guardian formation, it was overgrown with weeds and the entrance was hard to see.
He cast a spell to clear a path, walked to the entrance of the cave dwelling, and reached out to push it gently. The stone door fell down in response.
The layout inside was as it had been yesterday, but the items were covered in dust.
Huo Zhengkai asked him if he wanted to clean it up and rearrange it.
Zhang Yuanjing sighed, waved his hand with some melancholy, turned around and walked out, and left without looking back on his flying sword.
He originally wanted to go to the Zhangxuan Hall to visit Liu Yuanqing, but on second thought, Liu Yuanqing had not yet officially ascended to the throne, and he must avoid suspicion. He would definitely not appear on Zhenyi Peak before the ascension ceremony.
Yu Tianwan was busy with the preparations for the grand ceremony and probably had no time to pay attention to him.
Moreover, there were definitely many Golden Core elders on the central peaks of the inner gate, and it would be easy to run into them, which would be a bit embarrassing.
He decided to go to Lingxiao Peak, where Huo Zhengkai and Zhou Yuming had once cultivated.
On Lingxiao Peak, there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was Lu Zhensong, who took over from Long Yuanshou as the peak master.
After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, he was accepted as a disciple by Jie Tianwei, renamed Lu Yuansong, became the peak master of Lingxiao Peak, and vigorously promoted the upper and lower courtyard system. He was quite liked by Jie Tianwei, who bestowed many cultivation resources. Decades passed, and he was already in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, not far from the late stage.
When Zhang Yuanjing flew to Lingxiao Peak, he used his magic power to cover up his and Huo Zhengkai's aura, so that no one noticed.
However, when they arrived at the upper and lower courtyards located on the mountainside, some high-level Qi Refining cultivators recognized Huo Zhengkai, and someone went to report to Lu Yuansong.
In the past, Lu Yuansong would have been too lazy to pay attention.
However, now that his status as a former sect leader's disciple had plummeted, almost falling from the clouds to the mud, where could he still be imposing.
He also straightened his mentality. As soon as he heard that Huo Zhengkai, who had already established his foundation, had come to the mountain, he immediately came to greet him, thinking about how to resolve the old grudges and build a friendship.
Zhang Yuanjing was too lazy to see him, so he went to the top of the mountain. It just so happened that Zhou Zhengming was on Falling Sword Peak, which saved him some searching effort.
Looking at Zhou Zhengming kneeling on the ground, Zhang Yuanjing could hear that his cry, filled with tears, was full of joy, but also full of sadness.
There is no doubt that Zhou Yuming was a man who was good at scheming and could use every opportunity he could seize to climb up.
Unfortunately, he succeeded and failed. Success was due to himself, and failure was due to fate. The torment in his heart over the years was definitely not something ordinary people could imagine.
Zhang Yuanjing raised his hand and remotely lifted Zhou Zhengming with his magic power: "Get up, you are also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, don't be so overjoyed!"
Zhou Zhengming took the opportunity to stand up, jumped off the giant rock, quickly walked to Zhang Yuanjing's side, and said excitedly: "Disciple is overjoyed to see Uncle Master, and I can't help but want to roar to the sky to express the joy in my heart!
"Over the years, there have been many rumors about Uncle Master in the sect, but the most said is that Uncle Master has fallen. Disciple lost his master and uncle master, and was lonely and helpless, and was very sad. I never thought that God would open his eyes, Uncle Master is still here, and still alive and well, how can disciple not be happy and excited!"
Zhang Yuanjing carefully looked at him a few times, shook his head: "It seems that you have not set your mind right these years, and your cultivation has stagnated! That Lu Yuansong is about to enter the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but you are still far from the middle stage!"
Zhou Zhengming's face stiffened, and he carefully glanced at Zhang Yuanjing, but could not tell whether he was really angry or pretending to be angry, and immediately said ashamed: "Uncle Master is right to scold! Disciple has been depressed these years and has abandoned his cultivation, which is really wrong. From now on, disciple will definitely correct his mistakes, work hard to cultivate, and dare not disgrace the names of Master and Uncle Master!"
Zhang Yuanjing sighed and said without容置疑: "You are Senior Brother Yuan Kui's first disciple. He is not here now, so I will teach you! From today onwards, you will cultivate with my disciple, and all expenses will be one level higher than my eldest disciple!"
